I think we need a new study with the new AI prime fuge light

I use 2 H380’s to light a 75g fuge below my 210. I don’t need to skim. They aren’t cheap, but it grows a dense clump of chaeto, caulerpa, and seagrass. Place is a pod factory. Have had for over a year and very pleased. Together, they burn the tops of the algae, IMO H1200 totally overkill.

The fiancée calls it the “pink pallace under the sea.” A black cloth normally hides it from view.

I also have a 75 gallon as a sump and ordered a H38 but haven't set it up yet. How big is your fuge and do you think one h380 will work on it instead of two?

I'd worry about moisture with this. Especially if in an enclosed cabinet with a skimmer.

My sump is in the basement

75 is the fuge size. My H380's are mounted about 12-14 inches above the water, and at that height I DO agree 2x is overkill. I think you will be fine, good luck!

400w halide would probably do a reaaal nice job... And replace your heaters too!
